The Balanced Literacy Club: Emergent Literacy for Students with Disabilities - FREE! San Francisco, April 26, 2016

WHAT: Sponsored by Support for Families of Children with DisabilitiesThe prospect of teaching students ages birth to ten with significant disabilities to read and write can seem overwhelming. All students can learn and this workshop will cover shared reading (developing a love of reading, and supporting language through reading), emergent writing (beginning to write with symbols, words, and the alphabet), self-selected story listening (listening to a range of engaging, age-respectful books), and an introduction to phonics (developing letter-sound connections) and phonemic awareness (understanding spoken language at the word, syllable, and letter level).
